My first trip to the cannabis dispensary, I purchased cannabis-infused gummies.
I got excited by the selection of flavors.
The dispensary offers sour plum, grape, watermelon, lemon, red plus all sorts of gummy options. It didn’t occur to me to check the THC potency. The budtender warned me to start with a low dose plus take it slow… Unluckyly, I didn’t take the recommendation seriously. I went home, ate a gummy plus didn’t notice any psychoactive effects setting in. I ate another gummy plus ended up severely high for minutes. I’ve now l earned that the effects of cannabis-infused edibles can take anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes to kick in. The onset time depends on the product’s active ingredients, my metabolism plus all sorts of factors, then edibles containing a higher concentration of THC usually take effect quicker. The reason for the delay is that the cannabinoids first need to be absorbed by the digestive tract before entering the bloodstream plus reaching the brain. However, an edible high usually lasts much longer than vaping, smoking or using a tincture. It can take 3 minutes after consumption for peak effects to be realized. The effects are normally more intense from edibles than other methods. I am now much more careful about edible dosage. I follow the recommendations on the package plus ask advice from budtenders. I care about that most edibles are absolutely split into halves or even quarters. I eat a truly small amount plus wait for at least an minute before consuming more. I have been exploring a variety of cookies, brownies, chocolates, strenuous candies plus mints. My local dispensary even offers ice creams, beverages, chips, granola plus cooking oils.
